CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Shareholders 

On behalf of the Board of Directors it is my pleasure to deliver the Key Petroleum Limited (‘Key’ or ‘Company’) Annual Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2020. 

During  the  year  the  Company  focused  on  activities  in  its  Perth  and  Cooper  Eromanga  Basins  Permits  located  in  Western  Australian  and 
Queensland respectively. 

A Farmin Agreement with Pancontinental Oil and Gas NL in ATP 920 and 924 was signed in October 2019. Key’s application to renew the 
three (3) Cooper Eromanaga Basin Authorities to Prospect, ATP 783, 920 and 924, for a further four (4) years was subsequently approved in 
November 2019.  Efforts continue towards drilling with access and compensation agreement signed, and planning has begun for 2D seismic 
acquisition to take place in the following permit year. 

The Company is pleased to report decommissioning activities undertaken in Production Licence L7 were completed during the period without 
incident with the focus now shifting to progressing the work program with Joint Venture Partner, Triangle Energy (Global) Limited. 

2020 saw the unfortunate ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which restricted Key’s ability to meet work program commitments of 
one (1) exploration well within Exploration Permit EP 437 within the required time frame.  The Company was subsequently granted a 12 month 
suspension and extension from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety which ends in May 2021.  

The flow on from COVID-19 saw the Company undertake significant cost saving measures which include, among other initiatives, the deferral 
of  payment  of  all  Directors’  Fees  and  voluntary  staff  pay  reductions  of  30%.    I  am  appreciative  of  the  support  provided  by  the  Board, 
Management and Staff through this difficult period. 

Key is heading into the new financial year with the focus firmly remaining with its onshore Perth Basin and Cooper Eromanga Basin assets.  
The scrip sale of the Company’s 40% interest in offshore Perth Basin permit WA-481-P to Pilot Energy Limited also provides Key with exposure 
to the potential development of a renewable energy project in Western Australia’s Midwest. 

We would like to thank all  the employees, Directors and Shareholders for their ongoing support throughout the year and look forward to a 
positive year ahead in 2020/2021. 

Yours sincerely 

Geoff Baker 
Chairman  

29 September 2018

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Operations Review 

The Financial Year 2019/2020 afforded Key Petroleum Limited (“Key”) an opportunity to mature value in its asset holdings. Several prospect 
maiden resource statements were announced throughout the year across the Company’s portfolios in the Perth and Cooper Eromanga Basins.  
In the first half of the year Key progressed and finalised access agreements for drilling and signed a Letter of Intent with Refine Energy Pty Ltd. 
In 2020 the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on most industries and multiple facets of the economy. Despite the 
restrictions, Key adapted, and continued to conduct its business with low cost and efficient operations in these trying times.  

In November 2019 Key received formal confirmation from the Department of Nature Resources, Mines and Energy, Queensland that Cooper 
Eromanga Basin ATPs 783, 920 and 924 have been renewed for a further period of four (4) years. The agreed work programs will enable Key 
to demonstrate the promising prospectivity and potential to supply energy for future eastern Australian needs.  

The Chandos Updip Prospect within the ATP 783 Canaway Ridge Project has been significantly de-risked from integrating the primary term 
work commitments comprising the geochemical survey and seismic reprocessing. A Farmin Agreement was formally executed between Key 
and Pancontinental Oil and Gas NL for the Meeba Project, a significant structural trend that lies between the Cuisinier and Inland Oil Fields 
within ATP 920 and 924. Key remains confident of attracting aligned investment to near term high impact drilling and exploration programs. 

Key announced ‘game changing potential’ on 16 June 2020 in its evaluation of the High Cliff and Kingia plays on the Bookara Shelf (EP  437/L7) 
and the broader prospectivity of the northern Perth Basin. Updated prospect resource estimates within the Bookara Shelf Project represent a 
material impact, with significant upside potential. 

The establishment of Access and Compensation agreements in EP 437 provides Key surety for the remainder of the Permit term and any potential 
renewals of the Permit. Key was granted a twelve (12) month Suspension and Extension for EP 437 in light of COVID-19 restricted movement, 
and despite these difficulties the Company remains committed to drilling and unlocking the potential of the area. 

The Care and Maintenance operations at the Mount Horner Field were successfully conducted without incident. Decommissioning activities 
started with the removal of all flowline infrastructure and monitoring bores and are now complete. Additionally, well decommissioning at Mount 
Horner was conducted in 2020 with the partial abandonment of Mount Horner-4A and full abandonment operations at Mount Horner-5, 7 and 
13, all successfully completed without incident. The remaining two wells and infrastructure are strategic assets that have been left in place for 
a possible near-term Pilot Production Program. 

Outlook 

Key continues to plan for drilling across its portfolio. The Company has continued landholder consultation with a view to start drilling in Cooper 
Eromanga Basin within the following financial year.  Efforts will also increase towards seismic acquisition campaigns.  

Key has in place all regulatory approvals to drill the EP 437 well, with the Refine Energy Rig #1 selected to conduct drilling operations on the 
proposed Wye Knot-1 Prospect before the Suspension and Extension Year 3 period is ends in May 2021.  

Despite reported misalignment with its L7 Joint Venture Partner, Triangle Energy (Global) Limited, Key is highly confident of progressing an 
exciting work program to investigate the Bookara Shelf, which will include the uppermost known extents of the game changing High Cliff and 
Kingia plays within L7 and adjacent EP 437. Key is optimistic the planned new 3D seismic and new exploratory drilling in this prolific oil 
producing region of the North Perth Basin will transform the Company. 

In  light  of  the growing  shift  towards  a  clean  energy  future  and  the  Australian  National  Hydrogen  Strategy,  Key has  taken  its  first  steps  to 
participate  with  its  investment  in  Pilot  Energy’s  strategy  towards renewable  energy projects  earmarked  for  the Midwest  region  of Western 
Australia.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned with the 
risks and opportunities identified by the board. 

The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be a part of this process, and as such the Board often meets in tandem with 
Audit and Risk Management Committee to discuss risk and strategy. 

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by 
the Board.  These include the following: 

• 

• 

Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to meet stakeholder’s needs and manage business 
risk; and 

Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

Other than as disclosed in this Annual Report, no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred during the financial year. 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 

Subsequent to the end of the financial year the following items occurred: 

• 

• 

The Managing Director, Kane Marshall, retired from the board with effect from 28 August 2020 and Rex Turkington retired as Chairman 
and Non-executive of the Company with effect from 31 August 2020.   Geoff Baker was appointed as Chairman of the board on 31 
August 2020.  Ric Jason, who was the Company’s Exploration Manager, was appointed as Interim Chief Executive Officer with effect 
from 28 August 2020.      

On 8 September 2020, Key entered into a term sheet with Pilot Energy Limited whereby Key will sell its 40% interest in the WA-481-
P Permit to Pilot. In consideration for the transfer of its interest, Pilot will issue to Key (or its nominee) in two tranches 21 million shares 
in Pilot that will be fully paid ordinary listed shares. The parties will terminate the Joint Venture Agreement between each other in 
relation to the WA-481-P Permit. The 21 million shares in Pilot will be issued to Key (or its nominee), subject to approval by Pilot’s 
shareholders.  

Other than the above, there was no other events occurring after the reporting date.  

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 

The Group expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the Group’s operations. 

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE 

The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect of its exploration activities. 

The Group aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance 
with all environmental legislation. The Directors of the Company are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the year under 
review. 

The Group is in compliance with the various environmental legislation and regulations that govern its activities in the jurisdictions in which 
it operates. 

REMUNERATION REPORT 

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

Remuneration Policy 

The Remuneration Committee Charter of Key Petroleum Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder 
and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance 
areas affecting the Company’s strategic goals. The Board of Key Petroleum Limited believes the Remuneration Policy to be appropriate and 
effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Group. 

The  Board’s policy  for  determining  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for board  members  and  senior  executives  of  the  Group  is  as 
follows: 

The Remuneration Policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the 
Board.  All  executives  receive  a  base  salary  or  an  agreed  fee  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  length  of  service  and  experience)  and 
superannuation.  The  Board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  Group’s  performance,  executive  performance  and 
comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 

The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain the 
highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. 

Executives are also eligible to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. 

7 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9.5% for the 2020 financial year, and 
do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments 
towards superannuation. 

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group. Based on each individual’s timesheet, costs are allocated 
to exploration projects and treated in accordance with the accounting policy described at Note 1(p) or expensed where the time is not allocated 
directly to a project. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing methodology. 

The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  time,  commitment  and 
responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market 
practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be 
paid  to  non-executive  directors  is  subject  to  approval  by  shareholders  at  the  Annual  General  Meeting  (currently  $500,000).  Fees  for 
non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the 
Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are eligible to participate in the employee share option plan. 

Performance based remuneration  

The Group currently has performance-based remuneration components built into director and executive remuneration packages. 

Kane Marshall was issued 4,000,000 performance rights for nil consideration following shareholder approval granted at a General Meeting 
held on 6 August 2012. Half of the performance rights will vest if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as quoted on 
ASX increases by 100% from the share price reference point for a consecutive period of at least 30 business days during a calendar year. The 
other half will vest if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as quoted on ASX increases by 150% from the share price 
reference point for a consecutive period of at least 30 business days during a calendar year. 

In addition, Mr Marshall received 20,000,000 options for nil consideration following shareholder approval granted at the Annual General 
Meeting on 22 November 2016. The options will vest where the average 30 consecutive day VWAP of the Company’s shares is equal or 
greater than 1.5 cents. 

Group performance, shareholder wealth and directors' and executives' remuneration 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  the  direct  positive  relationship  between  shareholders’  investment  objectives  and 
directors’ and executives’ performance. The Company plans to facilitate this process by directors and executives participating in future option 
issues to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing 
shareholder wealth. 

Use of remuneration consultants 

The Group did not employ the services of any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2020. 

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting 

The Company received 95.2% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2019 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific 
feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices. 

Details of remuneration 

Details of the remuneration of the directors and the key management personnel of the Group are set out in the following table. 

The key management personnel of the Group include the directors as per page 4 above. 

Given the size and nature of operations of the Group, there are no other employees who are required to have their remuneration disclosed in

1 – On 10 March 2020 the Board of Directors determined that there were no efficiencies to be gained by continuing the Audit and Risk 
Committee and Remuneration Committee.  It was resolved to disband these Committees.  Instead the functions of these Committees are 
undertaken by the full Board.  When the Board is  considering matters within the ambit of the Audit and Risk Committee Charter  and 
Remuneration Committee Charter, it will be guided by and, to the extent practicable, act in accordance with, those Charters.  At such time 
when the Group is of sufficient size, consideration will be given to reforming these Committees.

applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Key Petroleum 
Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial statements are presented in Australian currency. Key Petroleum Limited is a company limited by 
shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 29 September 2020.  
The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

(a)  Basis of preparation 

These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Key Petroleum Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of 
preparing the financial statements. 

(i)  Compliance with IFRS 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Key  Petroleum  Limited  Group  also  comply  with  International Financial  Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

(ii)  New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 which has resulted in changes in the classification, measurement and recognition 
of leases. The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and a financial liability (lease payments) and removes 
the former distinction between ‘operating’ and ‘finance’ leases. The exceptions are short-term leases and leases of low value assets.  

The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the reclassifications and adjustments arising from 
the new leasing rules are recognised in the opening statement of financial position on 1 July 2019. There is no initial impact on accumulated 
losses under this approach and comparatives have not been restated.  

From 1 July 2019, where the Group is lessee, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the 
lease asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is 
charged to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each 
period. The rightof-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.  

• 

Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the 
following lease payments: 

• 

Fixed Payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable  

•  Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate; 

•  Amounts expected to be payable the lessee under residual value guarantees; 

• 

• 

The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonable certain to exercise that option; and  

Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option  

The  lease  payments  are  discounted  using  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease.  If  that  rate  cannot  be  determined,  the  lessee’s  incremental 
borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a 
similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. 

The  Group’s  current  lease  agreements  do  not  contain  any  extension  options.  Right-of-use  assets  comprise  the  initial  measurement  of  the 
corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before commencement date less any lease incentives received, and any initial direct 
costs. 

Where the terms of a lease require the Group to restore the underlying asset, or the Group has an obligation to dismantle and remove a leased 
asset, a provision is recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 137. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs 
are included in the related right-of-use asset. 

Where leases have a term of less than 12 months or relate to low value assets the Group may apply exemptions in AASB 16 to not capitalise 
any such leases and instead recognise the lease payments on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. 

Impact on adoption of AASB 16 On adoption of AASB 16 the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously 
been classified as operating leases under the principle of AASB 117. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease 
payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019, being 10%. On initial application the associated right-
of-use assets were  measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid lease payments recognised in the statement of 
financial position as at 30 June 2019. In the statement of cash flows the Group has recognised cash payments for the principal portion of the 
lease  liability  within  financing  activities  and  cash  payments  for  the  interest  portion  of  the  lease  liability  as  interest  paid  within  operating 
activities. The adoption of AASB 16 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use assets of $90,850 and lease liabilities of $86,018 in respect of 
the office lease. There was no impact on accumulated losses at 1 July 2019.

Practical expedients applied  

• 

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: • the Group 
has elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered 
before the transition date the Group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 Leases and Interpretation 4 Determining 
whether an Arrangement contains a Lease; and  

• 

reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous. 

Reconciliation of operating lease commitments to lease liability Below is a reconciliation of total operating lease commitments as at 30 June 
2019, as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, and the lease liability recognised on 1 July 2019:

(iii)  Historical cost convention 

These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  as  modified  by  the  amount  of  share  based  payments 
expense, which have been measured at fair value. 

(iv)  Going concern 

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the 
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

The Group incurred a loss for the year of $145,922 (2019: $780,637) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,006,779 (2019: 
$1,931,628). 

The directors have prepared an estimated cash flow forecast for the period to September 2021 to determine if the Group will require additional 
funding during the next 15 month period. Where this cash flow forecast includes the likelihood that additional amounts will be needed and 
these funds have not yet been secured, it creates  material uncertainty as to whether the Group will continue to operate in the manner it has 
planned over the next 15 months. 

Where the cash flow forecast includes these uncertainties, the directors are required to make an assessment of whether it is reasonable to assume 
that the Group will be able to continue its normal operations. The directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate 
based on the following factors and judgements: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The Group has access to cash reserves of $642,193 as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: $446,895); 

The Group has the ability to adjust its exploration expenditure subject to results of its exploration activities and has a history of attracting 
Farm-in partners to assist in funding exploration commitments; 

The Group has raised $1,297,010 during the year via the issue of shares; and  

The Directors anticipate the support of the Group’s major shareholders to continue with the advancement of the Group’s assets. 

Should the Directors not achieve the matters as set out above, there is a material uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern  
and it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts to those 
stated in the annual report. The annual report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying 
amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet 
its debts as and when they fall due. 

(b)  Principles of consolidation 

(i) 

Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is 
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to 
direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. 

21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also 
eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively. 

(ii)  Changes in ownership interests 

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the 
Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests 
to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any 
consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Key Petroleum Limited. 

When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount 
recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest 
as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in 
respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts 
previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. 

If  the  ownership  interest  in  a  jointly  controlled  entity  or  associate  is  reduced  but  joint  control  or  significant  influence  is  retained,  only  a 
proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. 

(iii) 

Interests in joint operations 

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations 
for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only 
when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 

When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint 
operation: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; 

its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; 

its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; 

its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and 

its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. 

The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the AASBs 
applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 

When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a Group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the 
Group  is  considered  to  be  conducting  the  transaction  with the other  parties  to  the  joint operation, and gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the 
transactions are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties' interests in the joint operation. 

When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a Group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does 
not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. 

(c)  Segment reporting 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief 
operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified 
as the full Board of Directors. 

(d)  Foreign currency translation 

(i)  Functional and presentation currency 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment 
in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Key 
Petroleum Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

(ii)  Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. 
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of 
monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  They  are  deferred  in  equity  if  they  are 
attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Translation differences on financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation 
differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or 
loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available-for-
sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity. 

22 

 
(iii)  Group companies 

The  results  and  financial  position  of  all  the  Group  entities  (none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a  hyperinflationary  economy)  that  have  a 
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 

• 

• 

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of 
financial position; 

income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless that is not a reasonable 
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated 
at the dates of the transactions); and 

• 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other 
financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is 
sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as 
part of the gain or loss on sale. 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and 
translated at the closing rate. 

(e)  Revenue recognition 

Sales revenue from providing services to external parties is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed 
price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services 
to be provided because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously. This is based on the actual labour hours spent relative to 
the total expected labour hours. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the 
financial assets. 

(f) 

Income tax 

The Company formed a tax consolidated Group on 1 July 2016. The effect of the transition from single taxable entities to a tax consolidated 
group is the re-setting of the tax bases for assets within the group and an adjustment to the available carry forward losses under the available 
fraction calculation. 

The head entity, Key Petroleum Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred 
taxes and are measured on a stand-alone taxpayer basis. The Group currently does not have a tax sharing or tax funding arrangement. 

The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate 
for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in 
the  countries  where  the  Company’s  subsidiaries  and  associated  operate  and  generate  taxable  income.  Management  periodically  evaluates 
positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions 
where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  in  full,  using  the  liability  method,  on  temporary  differences  arising  between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises 
from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the  transaction affects 
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially 
enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability 
is settled. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts 
will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the 
deferred  tax  balances  relate  to  the  same  taxation  authority.  Current  tax  assets  and  tax  liabilities  are  offset  where  the  entity  has  a  legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income 
or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 

(g)  Leases 

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as 
finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of 
the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term 
payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease 
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and 
equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. 

23 

 
 
 
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating 
leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line 
basis over the period of the lease. 

(h)  Business combinations 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets 
are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

fair values of the assets transferred; 

liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired businesses; 

equity interests issued by the Group; 

fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and 

fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured 
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-
by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. 

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. 

The excess of the: 

• 

• 

• 

consideration transferred; 

amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity; and 

acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity; 

over  the  fair  value  of  the  net  identifiable  assets  acquired  is  recorded  as  goodwill.  If  those  amounts  are  less  than  the  fair  value  of  the  net 
identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. 

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the 
date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which similar borrowing could be obtained 
from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 

Contingent  consideration  is  classified  either  as  equity  or  a  financial  liability.  Amounts  classified  as  a  financial  liability  are  subsequently 
remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. 

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or 
loss. 

(i) 

Impairment of assets 

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.  Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure is assessed for 
impairment indicators under AASB 6 paragraph 20 and where there are indicators of impairment the Company will test for impairment. Other 
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  An 
impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount 
is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the 
lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 
groups of assets (cash-generating units).  Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal 
of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 

(j)  Cash and cash equivalents 

For  statement  of  cash  flows  presentation  purposes,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial 
institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known 
amounts  of  cash  and  which  are  subject  to  insignificant  risk  of  changes  in  value,  and  bank  overdrafts.  Bank  overdrafts  are  shown  within 
borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 

(k) 

Investments and other financial assets 

(i)  Classification 

From 1 July 2019 the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: 

• 

• 

Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss); and 

Those to be measured at amortised cost. 

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. 

24 

 
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that 
are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account 
for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). 

(ii)   Recognition and derecognition 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell 
the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred 
and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

(iii)  Measurement 

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through 
profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets 
carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. 

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of 
principal and interest. 

Debt instruments 

Subsequent  measurement  of  debt  instruments  depends  on  the  Company’s  business  model  for  managing  the  asset  and  the  cash  flow 
characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments: 

• 

• 

• 

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal 
and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective 
interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other income or 
expenses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. 

FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’  cash flows 
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, 
except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in 
profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from 
equity to profit or loss and recognised in other income or expenses. Interest income from these financial assets is included  in finance 
income  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  are  presented  in  other  income  or  expenses  and 
impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. 

FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that 
is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other income or expenses in the period in 
which it arises. 

Equity instruments 

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value 
gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following 
the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the 
Company’s right to receive payment is established. 

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other income or expenses in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. 
Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes 
in fair value. 

(iv) 

Impairment 

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and 
FVOCI. The impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. 

Financial assets - reclassification 

The Group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is no 
longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out 
of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near 
term. In addition, the Group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-
for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or 
until maturity at the date of reclassification. 

Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no 
reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets 
reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates 
of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively. 

25 

 
 
 
Recognition and derecognition 

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the 
asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or 
loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed to the 
statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have 
expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

When  securities  classified  as  available-for-sale  are  sold,  the  accumulated  fair  value  adjustments  recognised  in  equity  are  included  in  the 
statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities. 

Measurement 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit 
or loss, transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at 
fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. 

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses 
arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in the statement of 
comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair 
value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the 
Group’s right to receive payments is established. 

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between 
translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The 
translation  differences  related  to changes  in  the  amortised  cost  are  recognised  in  profit or  loss,  and  other  changes  in  carrying  amount  are 
recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in 
equity. 

Impairment 

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is 
impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of 
impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) 
has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of 
equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered 
an indicator that the assets are impaired. 

(i)  Assets carried at amortised cost 

For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of 
estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s  original effective 
interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity 
investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current  effective interest rate determined 
under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable 
market price. 

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after 
the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment 
loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

(ii)  Assets classified as available-for-sale 

If there is objective evidence of impairment for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between 
the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss  – is 
removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. 

Impairment losses on equity instruments that were recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss in a subsequent period. 

If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively related 
to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. 

(l)  Plant and equipment 

All plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that 
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount 
of  any  component  accounted  for  as  a  separate  asset  is  derecognised  when  replaced.  All  other  repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to  the 
statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred. 

26 

 
 
 
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the reducing balance method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their 
residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter 
lease term. The rates vary between 20% and 40% per annum. 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated 
recoverable amount (Note 1(i)). 

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  carrying  amount.  These  are  included  in  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those 
assets to retained earnings. 

(m)  Exploration and evaluation costs 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in 
the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied. 

(i) 

the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and 

(ii)  at least one of the following conditions is also met: 

(a) 

(b) 

the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the 
area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or 

exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable 
assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable  reserves,  and  active  and  significant  operations  in,  or  in 
relation to, the area of interest are continuing. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, salaries of exploration 
personnel, exploratory drilling and sampling and associated activities and depreciation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. 
General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to 
operational activities in a particular area of interest. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration 
and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The policy on impairment can be found at Note 1(i). The recoverable amount of the 
exploration and evaluation asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently 
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased 
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset 
in previous years. 

When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area are written 
off in the financial year the decision is made. 

(n)  Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They 
are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms. 

(o)  Employee benefits 

(i)  Wages and salaries and annual leave 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting 
date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to 
be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

(ii)  Other long-term employee benefit obligations 

The group also has liabilities for long service leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in 
which the employees render the related service. These obligations are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to 
be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration 
is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are 
discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as 
closely  as  possible,  the  estimated  future  cash  outflows.  Remeasurements  as  a  result  of  experience  adjustments  and  changes  in  actuarial 
assumptions are recognised in profit or loss. 

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for 
at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. 

(iii)  Share-based payments 

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby 
employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’). 

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. 

27 

 
The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance 
conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the 
vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion 
is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions 
being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition. 

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for 
the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award 
on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award. 

(p)  Provisions and asset retirement obligation 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is  probable that an 
outflow of economic benefits will result, and that outflow can be reliably measured. When this provision gives access to future economic 
benefits, an asset is recognised and then subsequently depreciated in line with the life of the underlying producing asset, otherwise the costs 
are charged to the income statement. The unwinding of the discount on the provision is included in the profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income within finance costs. Any changes to estimated costs or discount rates are dealt with prospectively. 

(q) 

Issued capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the 
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

(r)  Earnings per share 

(a)  Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity 
other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for  bonus 
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 

(b)  Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax 
effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed 
to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

(s)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation 
authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable 
to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing  activities  which  are 
recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

(t)  Comparative figures 

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial 
year. 

(u)  New accounting standards and interpretations 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2020 reporting periods and have 
not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. New 
standards and interpretations not mentioned are considered unlikely to impact on the financial reporting of the Group. 

(v)  Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise 
its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or 
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are: 

Exploration and evaluation costs 

Exploration and evaluation costs are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. The write-off or carrying forward of exploration 
expenditure is based on a periodic assessment of the viability of an area of interest and/or the existence of economically recoverable reserves. 

28 

 
This assessment is based on pre-determined impairment indicators, taking into account the requirements of the accounting standard, and with 
the information available at the time of preparing this report. Information may come to light in subsequent periods which requires the asset to 
be impaired or written down for which the directors are unable to predict the outcome. When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors 
decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial year the decision is made. 

Environmental Issues 

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the 
directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe 
such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. 

Taxation 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and taxation losses when the directors and management consider that 
it  is  probable  that  sufficient  future  tax  profits  will  be  available  to  utilise  those  temporary differences  and  losses.  Significant  judgement  is 
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable 
profits over the future period together with future tax planning strategies and the impact of the current income taxation legislation. Where there 
are significant variables relating to generating taxable profits in the future and there is limited operating history, the  Group will disclose the 
unrecognised deferred taxes. 

Share-based payments 

Share-based payment transactions, in the form of options to acquire ordinary shares, are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  
This model uses assumptions and estimates as inputs based on historical information available at the time the valuation was undertaken. This 
historical information may not be indicative of the future result. 

Provisions for rehabilitation 

A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of development activities undertaken, 
it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured 
reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas. 

The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value (including an appropriate discount rate relevant to the time 
value  of  money  plus  any  risk  premium  associated  with  the  liability)  of  the  expenditure  required  to  settle  the  restoration  obligation  at  the 
reporting date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration 
provision. 

The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the same 
basis as the related asset, unless  the present obligation arises from the production of inventory in the period, in which case the amount is 
included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the 
same manner, except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised 
into the cost of the related asset.

(i) 

the Group derives future assessable income of nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised; 

(ii)

CURRENT ASSETS – TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (cont’d) 

Credit Risk – Trade and Other Receivables 

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counterparties other than those 
receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within note 24. The class of assets described as ‘trade and other receivables’ is considered 
to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group. 

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk with ageing analysis and impairment provided for 
thereon. Amounts are considered to be ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled, with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group 
and the customer or counterparty to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the 
debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.  

The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high quality. 

The table below outlines the amounts due, past due and not impaired.

The  ultimate  recoupment of  costs  carried  forward  for  exploration  and  evaluation  phases  is  dependent  on the  successful  development  and 
commercial exploitation or sale of the respective petroleum interests. 

On  13  July  2019  the  Company,  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary  Key  Cooper  Basin  Pty  Ltd  entered  into  a  Farmin  Agreement  with 
Pancontinental Oil and Gas NL (“Pancon”), Pancon will acquire from Key: 

• 

an undivided 20% participating interest in ATP 920 (together with an option to acquire an additional undivided 15% participating interest 
in ATP 920); and 

• 

an undivided 25% participating interest in the Ace Area (collectively the “Farmin Interest”). 

In consideration of the assignment of the Farmin Interest, Pancon will undertake the following obligations (collectively Farmin Obligations): 

• 

• 

Pay to Key, $150,000 on the execution of the terms sheet to cover costs in relation to seismic reprocessing in respect of the Ace Area 
and the area of ATP 920 as well as other permitting costs.  

fund  26.67  %  of  the  total  costs  and  expenses  of  drilling  a  to  be  selected,  exploration  well  to  target  depth  including  plugging  and 
abandoning the well (Dry Hole Costs) but excluding success case costs associated with testing and completing the well, with such well

(e)  Ordinary shares 

2020 

$ 

2019 

$ 

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of 
and amounts paid on the shares held. 

On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each 
share is entitled to one vote. 

Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

(f)  Capital risk management 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

Due to the natures of the Group’s activities, being petroleum exploration, the Group does not have the access to credit facilities, with the 
primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital 
position  against  the  requirements  of  the  Group  to  meet  exploration programs  and  corporate  overheads.  The  Group’s  strategy  is  to  ensure 
appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. 
Refer to note 1 for management plans to remain a going concern. The working capital position of the Group as 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 
are as follows:

Information on the classification of options 

As the Group made a loss for the year ended 30 June 2020, the options on issue were considered anti-dilutive and were not included in the 
calculation of diluted earnings per share. The options currently on issue could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. 

22.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 

(a)  Employees and contractors’ options 

The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) and contractors of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, 
whereby options to acquire ordinary shares are issued as an incentive to improve employee and shareholder goal congruence. The exercise 
prices of the options granted and on issue at 30 June 2020 range from 1.3 to 1.5 cents per option, with expiry dates ranging from 30 November 
2020 to 27 March 2023. 

Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company with 
full dividend and voting rights.

30 JUNE 2020 

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was 0.6 cents. There were no options granted during the 2020 financial 
year. The prices were calculated using a Black Scholes Option Pricing model applying the following inputs: 

Weighted average exercise price (cents) 

Weighted average life of the options 

Weighted average underlying share price (cents) 

Weighted average expected volatility 

Weighted average risk free rate 

2020 

1.3 

4.0 

0.8 

137.3% 

1.9% 

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it assumed that this is indicative of future trends, 
which may not eventuate. 

The life of the options is based on historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future. 

(b)  Employees and contractors performance rights 

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) and contractors of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, 
whereby  performance  rights  over  ordinary  shares  are  issued  as  an  incentive  to  improve  employee  and  shareholder  goal  congruence.  The 
performance rights granted to directors and on issue at 30 June 2020 have no expiration date. 

Performance  rights  granted  carry  no  dividend  or  voting  rights.  When  each  performance  condition  is  satisfied,  each  performance  right  is 
converted into one ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights. 

Set out below are summaries of the performance rights granted:

At 30 June 2020, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 50 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held 
constant, post-tax loss for the Group would have been $3,597 lower/higher (2019: $3,636 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher interest 
income from cash and cash equivalents. 

(a)  Credit risk 

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that 
could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 

Credit risk is minimised by investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a minimum of an A credit ratings and by ensuring 
customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. 

Credit Risk Exposures 

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date is equivalent to the carrying value and classification 
of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position. 

All cash holdings within the Group are currently held with A-1+ rated financial institutions. 

(b)  Liquidity risk  

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable 
securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being oil and gas 
exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of 
Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view 
to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Refer to note 1 for management’s plans to remain a going concern. 

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.  Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect 
management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation.  Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed.  The timing of cash flows 
presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

(c)  Fair value estimation 

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All 
financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their fair value. 

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-
term nature. 

As disclosed in note 1 should the Company not continue as a going concern then the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities may 
not reflect the true fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on a liquidation basis. 

25.  SEGMENT INFORMATION 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief 
operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.  During the period, the Group is managed 
primarily based on one segment being oil and gas exploration in Australia.

Independent Auditor's Report 

To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Key Petroleum Limited (“the Company”) and its 
subsidiaries  (“the  Group”),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial 
position  as  at  30  June  2020,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 

comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  the 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial 
statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies,  and  the  directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion: 

a. 

the  accompanying  financial  report  of  the  Group  is  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations Act 2001, including: 

(i) 

(ii) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 
2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and 

complying  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations 
Regulations 2001. 

b. 

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards 
as disclosed in Note 1. 

Basis for Opinion 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.    Those 
standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit 
engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about 
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
Financial Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance 
with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of 

the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 
accordance with the Code. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to 

provide a basis for our opinion. 

 
 
 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued) 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(a)(iv) in the financial report which indicates that the 
company incurred a net loss of $145,922 during the year ended 30 June 2020.  This condition, along with other 
matters as set forth in Note 1(a)(iv), indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant 
doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and 
extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit 
of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 
financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on 
these matters. 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Capitalised Exploration Costs 

As disclosed in note 9 to the financial statements, as 

Our audit procedures included but were not limited 
to: 

at 30 June 2020, the Group’s capitalised exploration 

  Assessing  management’s  determination  of  its 

costs are carried at $4,502,264.  

The recognition and recoverability of the capitalised 

exploration costs was considered a key audit matter 

due to: 

  The carrying value of capitalised exploration costs 

represents  a  significant  asset  of  the  Group,  we 

considered it necessary to assess whether facts 

and circumstances existed to suggest the carrying 

amount of this asset may exceed the recoverable 

amount; and  

  Determining  whether impairment  indicators exist 

involves significant judgement by management. 

areas of interest for consistency with the definition 

in AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral 

Resources (“AASB 6”); 

  Assessing  the  Group’s  rights  to  tenure  for  a 

sample of permits and licenses; 

  Testing  the  Group’s  additions  to  capitalised 

exploration  costs  for  the  year  by  evaluating  a 

sample of recorded expenditure for consistency to 

underlying 

records, 

the 

capitalisation 

requirements  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policy 

and the requirements of AASB 6; 

  By  testing  the  status  of  the  Group’s  tenure  and 

planned  future  activities,  reading  board  minutes 

and discussions with management we assessed 

each  area  of  interest  for  one  or  more  of  the 

following  circumstances 

that  may 

indicate 

impairment of the capitalised exploration costs: 

  The  licenses  for  the  rights  to  explore 

expiring  in  the  near  future  or  are  not 

expected to be renewed; 

  Substantive 

expenditure 

for 

further 

exploration  in  the  area  of  interest  is  not 

budgeted or planned; 

  Decision  or 

intent  by 

the  Group 

to 

discontinue activities in the specific area of

  Data

that, 

although

and 

  Assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the  related 

disclosures in the financial statements.  

Other Information  

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our 
auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 

so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 

control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 

and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also 
state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that 

the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a 
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic 
alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. Our objectives are to obtain 

reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high 

 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued) 

level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing 
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error 
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

− 

− 

− 

− 

− 

− 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient 
and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not  detecting  a  material  misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that 
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness 
of the Group’s internal control. 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions 
that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that 
a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw  attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related 
disclosures  in  the  financial  report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our 

conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, 
future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, 
and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and  events  in  a  manner  that 
achieves fair presentation. 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 
activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are  responsible  for  the 
direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit 

opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit. 

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical  requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably 
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance 
in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe 

these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or 
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 

 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued) 

because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2020.  
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in 
accordance  with  s  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the 

remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

Auditor’s Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2020, complies with section 
300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
